Iraq / Washington DC statistic

[fishryc]

This was emailed to me from a good friend whom is presently working in Iraq for the US Government in a non-military however classified capacity:

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington immediately.

That's nuts.

But hey, there are plenty of people out there who want to take away our guns.  Afterall, it's not like it's in the Constitution or anything....

Oh, you say it is in the Constitution?  Well, then f*%$ those gun control freaks.

Gun control means they control, you do not.

I'm all for gun control that means hitting your target
